Our capabilities

Sapphiros’ Extreme Volume Manufacturing transforms how diagnostic and biosensor products are produced, delivering unprecedented speed, scale and cost efficiency.

Extreme Volume Manufacturing Copied!

Extreme Volume Manufacturing (EVM) is our proprietary production process that manufactures over five billion tests annually, with a capacity of up to 16 million tests per day using just 35 operators - a 35-fold improvement in operator efficiency compared to traditional methods.

This capability combines printed electronics, advanced biochemistry, and continuous reel-to-reel manufacturing to produce high-performance devices at scale. The process accommodates multiple product types, including molecular and lateral flow tests, wearable diagnostic patches, blood collection devices, and detection systems. Integrated printed heaters, batteries, and sensors enable smart, connected healthcare products.

By eliminating the need for costly injection moulds, we reduce capital barriers and material waste while improving sustainability. Our flexible, future-ready manufacturing foundation rapidly responds to evolving global healthcare demands.

Visual Lateral Flow tests for a variety of applications Copied!

Sapphiros’ Visual Lateral Flow capabilities enable rapid, scalable production of high-quality lateral flow tests in a flexible, low-cost format.  

Designed for visual readout, these tests leverage proven immunochromatographic technology for clear and reliable results. The modular, sheet-based design allows multiple test types to be produced on the same manufacturing line, simplifying scale-up and accelerating time to market.  

By removing the need for injection moulds, this approach reduces costly tooling and supports fast product iteration. Each test includes integrated desiccant protection, removing the need for additional packaging and improving shelf life.  

Reel-to-reel production on flexible laminates ensures efficiency and consistent quality while keeping material costs low. Compact and easy to distribute, these tests are ideal for both consumer and professional applications, combining proven performance with innovative, sustainable design. 

  • Reel-to-reel processing enables rapid and scalable test production.

Proprietary Inks and Reel-to-Reel Printed Electronics Copied!

Sapphiros’ Printed Electronics capability brings intelligence, power and connectivity to our next-generation diagnostic and biosensor products.  

Using high-speed reel-to-reel flexographic printing, conductive components such as heaters, batteries, sensors and antennae are directly integrated onto flexible materials. This enables compact, self-powered devices with built-in temperature control, digital displays and wireless communication.  

The process combines printing, lamination and 3D forming to create complex, multi-layered systems quickly and efficiently. It supports seamless integration of reagents and electronics, with rapid changeover between product types for agile manufacturing.  

Compatible with molecular, lateral flow and wearable diagnostic technologies, this approach eliminates costly tooling and reduces material waste while maintaining scalability and sustainability. The result is a powerful platform that supports both mass-market testing and advanced connected diagnostic devices. 

  • Enables printed batteries, heaters and sensors to be manufactured directly onto diagnostic devices using reel-to-reel processing.
